Have you herd about this? A driver has a big beef with the police in Norfolk, Nebraska, because they took the bull by the horns and pulled over a cattle car for no good reason. Who doesn’t enjoy a nice ride in a convertible just to feel the wind in their hide? Who cares if the car suede a bit from side to side from the extra weight? Why are the police having such a cow? I call it species profiling against Bovine-Americans. The authorities have really stepped in it this time.

Only a doper could collect so much BS all in one spot. And: no leather seats?

To which the man replied, “On our first date?!”

The bull’s name is ‘Howdy Doody’. I imagine he earned that name after his first ride in the car.
